When Li Yi demonstrated an extraordinary power enough to destroy a city, his presence became impossible to ignore, and his importance was elevated to its utmost within merely two hours. Many important individuals had already gathered in various ways within this building. They all saw the massive chasm running from north to south, which, due to the surge of underground water, had turned into a great river, stretching a total of 135 kilometers according to calculations. To split the land to form a river, it was indeed no exaggeration. Everyone who witnessed this scene was shocked by this earth-shattering event. Soon after, the same thought emerged in everyone’s mind: this is absolutely not something humans could achieve; it’s the great power of the Divine. And even before these important individuals arrived, analysis about the existence of Taiyi had already begun. From the other party’s words and demeanor, to the information revealed by them. The conclusion was finally reached that the other party indeed came from another world; whether or not they’re divine is unknown, but at least they’re a being with power comparable to the Divine. As for why they’re called a being, it’s because although Li Yi looks similar to them and speaks the same language, it may just be a disguise; no one knows what the true nature is. And when the top tier of this world was alerted. In a spacious conference hall inside the building, Li Yi was sitting atop a white Xiangyun, propping his head up, listening to Zhang Yan’s account regarding matters of the living and the dead. Zhang Yan stated earnestly, "In our world, the living, when they die, turn into invisible dead and continue living in this world, but their existence and behavior are completely different from when they were alive. For example, a colleague of mine died in an accident, and after becoming one of the dead, he continued to linger in the place where he lived when he was alive." "If a living person nearby accidentally crosses a certain boundary and gets entangled with the dead, the living one will soon be killed, even if the targeted individual is the closest person to my colleague." "Therefore, the dead have no emotions; they are no longer your relatives but invisible monsters, which some call ghosts." "Of course, we have our own way of dealing with the dead. Generally, a person’s body gets cremated immediately in a designated place, because after cremation in such a place, the probability of the dead appearing in the world becomes extremely low. In Huaimu City, there are three such crematoriums, the oldest of which has a history of five hundred years." Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽 "A world where the living and the dead coexist?" Li Yi’s gaze shifted, "However, even so, the dead in this world will increase in number, eventually completely squeezing out the living space until eventually... annihilation." "It could take just a small war to make the number of dead instantly surpass the living." "I’m sorry; our world has never had wars; if there were, the only war would be between the living and the dead," Zhang Yan said. "If you don’t believe it, I can bring you the history book from our world." "No need, I don’t like reading books, especially history books; they are basically concocted, their credibility comparable to gossiping grandmas at the village entrance," Li Yi waved his hand. "A world without wars is indeed surprising to me, unlike my world, which has a five-thousand-year history filled with five thousand years of warfare, with countless deaths, the only consolation being they don’t turn into ghosts after death." Zhang Yan, along with Minister Wang Jianming beside him, was taken aback by the statement. They hadn’t expected Taiyi to come from such a chaotic world, where its people have been fighting each other for five thousand years. "This, this seems impossible, if every person had the kind of extraordinary power like yours, how could the world exist after five thousand years of war?" Wang Jianming couldn’t help but carefully inquire. Li Yi laughed, "This isn’t extraordinary power; it’s Cultivation, the power obtained through Cultivation. However, my world is indeed on the verge of breaking apart, but that’s not your concern. But if you don’t resolve the issue with that building, the war might spread here." "So you need to make some effort, do something, after all, you wouldn’t want this place turning into a world rampant with the dead, devoid of the living, right." Both men’s faces changed dramatically, and they couldn’t help but tremble all over. If someone possessed a power like Taiyi and a great battle broke out here, it would only take a day for this world to end. Realizing this, Wang Jianming decided that regardless of the cost, that building must be destroyed, even if it meant more sacrifices among the dead. But compared to the safety of this world, it’s not worth mentioning. "Enough, this topic is too heavy for you. Let’s talk about the dead. Even if there’s a designated place to cremate bodies, there’s no shortage of people who die from accidents or illness. If they turn into the dead, how do you handle them?" Li Yi asked. Zhang Yan replied, "Currently, there are two ways. One is through communication with the living dead, guiding the dead to the crematoriums; upon entering, they disappear from this world. This method is called ’guidance’ in our world." "The other way is to kill the dead again, but conventional methods won’t work; only living dead can do it, although the cost is high, because the dead don’t exist in the living world, can’t be seen, and killing one is extremely difficult. Unless absolutely necessary, we don’t let living dead deal with the dead." "Can it be killed?" Li Yi nodded slightly, "That’s good. As long as they can be killed, the threat is not significant, unlike ghosts in some worlds that cannot be killed. Tell me about the living dead. In your world, the living dead seem to be the only ones who possess any extraordinary abilities." But just at that moment. The door of the meeting room opened, and a full-bodied voice rang out: "Living dead are those who have come back to life, those rescued from drowning, those who suddenly died and lived again. These people who have walked on the edge of death have a certain probability of becoming living dead." "They can perceive the dead, communicate with lost souls, and become guides. They are indispensable for maintaining the stability of this world. Every living dead has a high status, but they also have defects. Because they have died once, they may become eccentric, sometimes frantic, even very cruel..." Li Yi glanced at the person. No need to say, a leader of significant stature has arrived. "Hello, Taiyi from another world, I am Zhao Hongjie, one of the leaders of this country. You can bring up any needs to me; we will not refuse anything we can do. We hope to live in peace and not let minor issues or misunderstandings cause unpleasantness." The middle-aged man named Zhao Hongjie was quite calm facing Li Yi. Clearly, he possessed great psychological resilience. Of course, he had prepared all psychological responses before coming. With his appearance, Zhang Yan, Minister Wang Jianming, hurriedly saluted. "Good, finally, someone who can make decisions has arrived. You should already know about the building in that previously sealed area; this building affected the space, connecting two worlds. Destroying it would be beneficial for your world, and also for mine." "Alright, give us three days. I will make the utmost effort to handle the dead there, then destroy those buildings and ensure that no construction will ever occur there again." Zhao Hongjie said resolutely. As he finished speaking. Two people immediately walked out from behind him. Clearly, they were about to take immediate action. Although dealing with the dead will incur many casualties, if a nation’s power is determined to remove that threat, it can still be done, especially since this matter concerns the safety of the entire world. "Agreeing to this matter so swiftly has indeed spared me a lot of troubles." Li Yi said: "And as I mentioned earlier, if you can accomplish this, I can grant you adequate benefits, so feel free to consider it a reward from me." Zhao Hongjie said: "We don’t need anything if possible. I wish to cooperate with you, to study how to effectively deal with the dead, preferably mastering the means to kill the dead." He felt that the person possessing this great power might represent an opportunity to change the world’s structure. "Your ideal is grand; do you want to completely end the war between the living and the dead? But unfortunately, I have tried to deal with the dead and failed. The differences between the two worlds, the distinct power systems, the effect is not as expected. In terms of understanding from your world, my power is meant for dealing with the living, not for dealing with the dead." Li Yi continued: "Moreover, your world has too little Cosmic Energy. Bodies have already degraded and are not suited for cultivation, cannot follow the path of cultivation." "Cosmic Energy, cultivation, can you emphasize these topics?" Zhao Hongjie said seriously. Behind him, someone immediately started recording, recording, filming, documenting this scene. "Cosmic Energy is well understood as a special energy existing in the universe, not every world has it..." At this moment, Li Yi pointed his finger, and a cosmic star map instantly appeared before everyone’s eyes. The star map changed, demonstrating the existence of Cosmic Energy. Those present were smart, they immediately understood why this world is not suitable for cultivation; it is because the universe’s energy has not visited this world. "Without the nourishment of Cosmic Energy, the human body will degrade, become unsuitable for cultivation, just like how fish are born able to swim in water; this is shaped by the environment." Li Yi said. "Therefore, people in our world are like fish in the desert; without water, they can only abandon swimming and evolve into animals." Zhao Hongjie said. Li Yi said: "Your perception is quite good. Evolution is cultivation, and cultivation allows the body to break through species limits, for example, granting a person the vertical pupils that fierce beasts have." Saying this, his gaze moved slightly, his pupils suddenly contracted, and a pair of vertical pupils appeared before everyone’s eyes. At that moment, they felt as if they were being stared at by an unseen fierce beast, with hair standing on end, as if turned into prey, ready to be captured at any moment. "It also enables the human body’s energy to be utilized to affect material reality, and that is Spell." At this moment, Li Yi transformed into Mr Li to briefly explain the knowledge of cultivation to the people of this world.
